Good Move: LINE Starts Integrating With Facebook

Japanese chat app sensation LINE (75 million users and counting) has done the inevitable: it started integrating with Facebook.

Maker NHN Japan says that while the Facebook connection went live on Android first, LINE users on iOS can expect the same feature in the near future.

The main bullet points here are that existing Facebook users can create LINE accounts with their FB credentials (no phone number needed) and that LINE users can now invite Facebook friends to become contacts directly from within the app.

NHN Japan also says that even if two users are already friends on LINE, connecting via Facebook accounts is possible, too.

When users get a new phone number or change the handset, they can use their Facebook credentials to take over their LINE accounts easily.
